Are they just trying to appear keen but not actually doing anything useful? Or do they just hate being at home?

I think its the latter. although I have my sources on other lines where she trained before and she did it there.. even got some other grades up to show them what its like in control rooms which didnt go down well before people have even passed.
sure make trainees feel welcome but the latest lot are far far too comfortable . makes it harder on them when they dont make it

I once heard our Pro tell a member not to expect much more than 12mths from a pair!
Then again, the locker room is littered with expensive shoes that have never been cleaned.

They are not 100% waterproof either. Need a pair of wellies for that.

Sealskinz socks you could wear slippers and not get wet feet.

The Stuburts on Amazon are £60 and will probably match the FJ's. I got two wet winters out of them.
A tube of glue will get me throught to March

Waterproof socks anyone?
One of our guys swears by them.

Not for me, messed up an old pair of shoes doing that trick and besides they smell like a sewer after a week or two of being drenched

I bought Geckowear waterproof socks last year.
I think they're better than Sealskinz but it looks like they might not be fully trading anymore. They just feel like socks, whereas I always think Sealskinz feel like a plastic carrier bag sandwiched between 2 massive socks.

Depends on which Sealskinz you buy, there are many variations and yes, some do sound like a crisp bag when being worn.
Letting them dry naturally helps with that though, shoving them in a tumble dryer drastically reduces their life.

Just had a look - at £45 a pair I’d rather get wet feet. And besides, whenever I put a pair of socks in the wash, I only ever get one sock back.
I swear my wife eats them.

If I can’t find a pair of shoes that don’t need waterproof socks, I won’t be playing in those conditions.

I was looking at the cold weather socks, which is really when I would want them for their waterproof qualities. I’m less bothered about wet feet in warm weather.
The cold weather ones are expensive.

I find it's not just the rain
Walking through rough looking for the ball when there is some dew on the grass can be enough

My UU shoes are going strong in to their 3rd winter, spent lots of time in the wet rough on Wednesday and feet were bone dry.
Definitely. Transformative.
Mine were about £20-25 but I've had them a while now. Wash every couple of wears, let them dry naturally.
They feel slightly odd when you first put them on but after about 10 seconds you forget about them. It's like the awkward feeling when you first put a base layer on, and then it's gone.
Never let me down, you don't worry about looking for a ball in the long, wet, grass for example.
